50 Cent Has the Gay Community Up in Twitter Arms
Earlier this week, rapper
50 Cent decided to take aim at the blogger Perez Hilton in an entirely unorthodox and upsetting way, after Hilton called him a d-bag.
50 tweeted the following: "Perez Hilton calld me d-----bag so I had my homie shoot up a gay wedding. wasnt his but still made me feel better. "
The tweet was accompanied by a photo of two men in suits running from an angry mob.
Perez Hilton responded on Twitter with the equally vitriolic but less biased remark.
"50 Cent joking about violence towards gays is about as expired as the days when he used to be musically relevant!"
Now the gay and lesbian community hopes to go after the rapper, not by having their homies shoot up anyone, but by attacking him on Twitter.
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation is calling on community members and allies to tweet back at 50 Cent asking folks to tweet:
RT @glaad: Tell @50cent to let his fans know that anti-gay violence isn't something to joke about. http://bit.ly/ab6rXV #LGBT #gay Pls RT!
The rapper has since deleted the Tweet but it still appears in his
Twitpic feed.
"Today gay and transgender children are being bullied in schools and many gay and transgender adults are afraid to live openly because of the threat of violence that jokes like this promote. 50 Cent should do the right thing and tell his fans that anti-gay violence is not funny," GLAAD President Jarrett Barrios told PopEater.
It's not the first time 50 Cent has made remarks that have offended the LGBT community.
In a 2004 interview with
Playboy magazine, the rapper said, "I don't like gay people around me, because I'm not comfortable with what their thoughts are. I'm not prejudiced. I just don't go with gay people and kick it - we don't have that much in common. I'd rather hang out with a straight dude. But women who like women, that's cool."
50 Cent also revealed his mother had been bisexual in the same interview, and added to his earlier statements.
"It's OK to write that I'm prejudiced. This is as honest as I could possibly be with you. When people become celebrities they change the way they speak. But my conversation with you is exactly the way I would have a conversation on the street. We refer to gay people as f--ts, as h–os. It could be disrespectful, but that's the facts."

Perez Hilton can always dish it out, but never can take it. He and some of his vile followers are always saying nasty stuff about someone. And then he hides behind the gay issue. I can't say I like 50 cent either though.

The end of slavery was the first step to the down fall of America!!
I agree with you sandy ... let the blacks and gays do each other off, it would be the best thing to happen for our country.
Right or wrong, at least 50 Cent says what he means. Perez Hilton makes his money by critizing other people's lives! Who the hell made "him" anybody's judge?
He's an a**hole. And so ignorant. If you gonna get offended by someone calling you a d-bag, you need to get tougher skin. It not that serious. But to then joke about violence of any kind, whether it be gay or straight, is just uncalled for. He needs to get a life. He's so 3 years ago. 50 cent is not relavant anymore.

well its like this.. if you call somebody a bad name.. prepared to get talked about...and I mean he's 50 cent... so you know he's going HARD. As for him being so 3 years ago.. more money is made BEHIND the scenes.. He's a BOSS now.
50 cent isnt worth a penny

Funny, that's not what all his bank statements say.
I never really like 50 cents. After reading what he said about the freaks of the world, he may not be a bad guy after all.

Yeah I never liked him....I can change though...LOL
Fifty Cent? Didn't he get his name from what he used pay his prison boyz for sex? Guess we can call you two cent then, huh.
Both men SUCK!!! So who cares if the 2 of them insult each other.

I think you're on to something....Why all this attention on two irrelevant people?
Perez Hilton is not typical of gay people...he's irrelevant, prissy and has too much of an opinion of himself; like what he says matters. Never really heard bout this 50 cent person....although he probably doesn't realize it but he probably has "kicked it" with a few gay guys and didn't even know it!

You are absolutely correct. His definition of gay people is the girly clothes wearing, loud, ignorant, dirt bags. I know some gay people who are professional in many areas of higher education. He needs to get away from that ghetto image of gay people. But, then again how can he? He's ghetto minded.
He's just your typical ni**er
Who cares what " 50 cent " thinks about anything or anyone . Anyone who named himself that obviously is showing their own self-worth , and would be threatened by many different types of people .....SHEEEIIITTT !

But someone who named himself Perez Hilton is some kind of intellectual giant???
PEZ Hilton is just about as ignorant as a human being can get. His bad opinion about anyone is what most would aspire to. I'd be really, really nervous if he admired me!
